EDIT: droids on tatooine also have their proper noises including astromech beeps and chirps and the protocol droids have better voices. Usually trying to talking to an astromech displays subtitles like “cheerful beeping” but no noise actually plays but on tatooine they have their customs noises.

Been playing with a pretty heavy Star Wars focused LO (as much of an overhaul as I can get on Xbox anyway) and have been using ‘Star Wars blaster and melee’ and it’s dlc addon by Mr.Crozzbow as it was the only mod that replaced the levelled lists for npcs to use the guns as opposed to just adding them for me to use. In the mod description the author states “Weapons use their own iconic sounds (Pc version only - Xbox doesn’t work unfortunately)”.

I just assumed this was an issue with the creation kit as another Star Wars blaster mod I downloaded also didn’t have any blaster sounds. This was until I landed on tatooine and went to mos Eisley for the first time, I found a Jawa selling weapons and bought some as there was some I hadn’t found yet and to my complete shock they had their correct sounds. So if the blasters I’ve bought here have their proper sounds how come the other blaster mods can’t seem to get it working?

This is a quick 6min review of Kinggaths creation mod McClarence outfitters, and you may already know of Gaths work from the more popular mod Watchtower, but McClarence was one of his first major releases before watchtower. At a cheap price of $3 I truly believe it is a must have for its ability to help gamers customize armor and weapons. What it provides is more useful and helpful than a lot of other mods that are $5 or more. Hopefully this video helps you make an informed decision before spending your own money, and even if you don’t watch it you can just take my word that you’ll feel once you see what the mod can do that it’s selling price for $3 is a bargain.

I’ve been trying to fix my LO since early April and play the game with a robust LO that fits how I like to play. Unfortunately, I keep running into the same bug and crashes. Whoever can actually help me get the game running without losing my audio, I WILL (not allowed to offer money on here but, I honor my promises)

*FYI I am on an Xbox Series X

This is an updated version of my load order from last month, which was overly ambitious and bloated - find it here.

This is what I am running on a fresh playthrough, been testing it the past 3 weeks and no major issues that I have run into. Some framerate drops to be expected in heavier areas, and I have experienced only a couple of crashes that were not recurring.

Want to share this as an update for those looking for LO guidance, inspiration, or curious for an update.

Feel free to ask any questions or ask for any help (if I can I will try).

Added a few mods this week marked as [New] which I have not had the time to tell you they are tested, but I think all should be fine. Only one I am going to really monitor is the Exit To Landing Bay mod.

I am also debating adding in the StarLuminous series and Remove Color Filter, neither should be an issue to add to this load order - I just played with them before and giving Vanilla a chance.

Quick rant incoming...

This skill always drove me nuts in-game because I don't think the number of ship crew members should be locked behind a Master tier list, of all things. The player should be able to hire the max number of crew members capped by the crew stations of installed habs because that would make more sense. The bigger the ship, the bigger the crew required to keep it operational.

That being said, I think Ship Command would be more useful if it related to how effective the player is as a ship captain i.e. Rank 1 - you're considered an acting captain. Your crew is happy to have work but will only do the bare/standard minimum. So it's like they will provide the buff related to their skill but only at 30% max. This increases as you rank up and by Rank 4, it will be the full skill buff and maybe a bonus or something.

I think that would be a good incentive to level up the skill because it incentivizes the player to invest in their experience as captain. It's also an evolution of the relationship between a crew and their captain.

Anyway - if you've made it to this point thank you for reading my rant. I'm not sure if such a mod exists (see above) but would be happy to download if there is any. TIA

Xbox series x

I'm going for a achievement friendly playthrough (running 16 mods) and discovered that I was having the 3 second stutter inside my ship on certain occasions after landing on certain planets. I took my entire day disabling every individual mod separately and it seems to be caused by Falkland ship service (the stutter was present while this was the only mod running)... I already moved this mod around quite a bit because the performance inside their showroom in Atlantis has always been horrible (no matter where i put it in the load order)

Does anyone experience something similar? And more importantly have a fix? Because I really like this mod but hate the stutter...

PS: I know there is a patch for this mod but that one isn't achievement friendly...

Are either the unofficial patch or the community patches worth even having

Anyone know a mod that lets you craft the DLC items? If not, consider it a request?

Hi everyone,

​I’m looking for ship recommendations that are ready-to-use Standalone models. I want to avoid the Ship Builder for a while and just buy a finished vessel from a technician that is already fully functional and detailed.

​Crucially, I am looking for high-quality, pre-decorated interiors. I want the ship to feel "lived-in" and immersive (clutter, realistic living quarters, logical layouts) without having to manually place items using the decorator tool.

​Thanks for your help!

And it's pretty amazing.

Ever since I started playing starfield, apart from the couple of days I played the vanilla game, I've been using the Ascension mod as a base for my load order. It's got to the point now where I just can't play the game without it.

I've always wanted to try Royal Galaxy so imagine my joy when I saw someone has finally ported it.

I've literally just slotted it into my load order in place of Ascension and started up a new game.

Is anyone else here trying this out for the first time?

Why yes mods, I'm frigging screaming my a$$ off into space about this. I haven't been able to play past just getting Andreja before everything just collapsed. And this was a stable LO before the update.

I would love to PLAY this frigging game.

Not just spend 5+ hours a day reloading, redoing LO (on the utterly fu%$ed Xbox "creations" menu)
